the University of Bologna.
Since December 2022 he is Full Professor at the DICAM department of the University of Bologna.
Main research areas
Application of both nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) and Fast Field Cycling (NMR FFC) to the characterization of porous media and of the saturating fluids;
Modelling and inverse problem;
Modeling and numerical simulation of reservoirs, aquifers and geothermal
fields.
Publications
He is the co-author of more than 130 (scientific papers)
publications, many of them published in international journals and
international conference proceedings, mainly in the field of porous
media characterization and fluids flow in porous media by means of
NMR techniques.
